That editorialist seemed to be claiming "When I like it, it's the free market, and when I don't like it, it's government intervention." Hasn't that guy ever heard of pro-suburban zoning and other development policies?

Who wants to live in a suburban house next to a freeway?(And be forced to drive everywhere, and get fat)

"And instead of building new roads and freeways to meet population growth, supporters of Smart Growth want to invest mostly in mass transit even though most of us rely on our cars and freeways to get around."

Post hoc, ergo propter hoc; or putting the car before the house.

(or mental puts it:The reason we are dependent on roads is because there is not adequate rail transport.

Therefore because we are dependent on roads, we should not invest in rail transport. )

I'm transitioning my writing over to my other site which was previously called The Direct Transfer. People seemed to be confused by the differences in brand between The Overhead Wire and The Direct Transfer so I made a change and combined the two as The Overhead Wire.

This page will continue to be here and will still be updated sparingly as it has over the last few years, however new original analysis and writing will be featured at TheOverheadWire.com in addition to the news archive and The Overhead Wire Daily email.
